It is said that ‘Prevention is better than cure’. And when it comes to maintaining healthy hairs on our eyebrows, the proverb becomes even more true. It is much easier to prevent your eyebrow hairs from falling out than growing them back after a rapid loss. We certainly can’t do anything about the eyebrow hair loss caused by our natural aging process, but slowing it down is possible just by tweaking a few habits and practices. Find here the ways:

Follow A Well-Balanced Diet

The first and foremost thing that you need to reconsider is your diet. Try to eat a perfectly balanced diet that will nourish the roots of hair in your eyebrows and make them too strong to fall out easily. Here are some choices for you:

While a balanced diet is necessary for reinforcing the eyebrow hair roots from inside, the importance of external care can also not be ignored for averting the fall of the shafts. There are quite a few effective home remedies that will help you put a stop to it:

Moisturize your eyebrow hairs twice every day – once in the morning and once at night – after washing the face thoroughly. Take 1-2 drops of pure coconut oil onto your fingertips and massage it into your eyebrow to ensure that the hair shafts get enough protein and stay supple yet strong for a longer time.

Warm up (1/2) teaspoon of pure castor oil and apply it to your eyebrows by using a Q-tip. Being a natural hair strengthening and regrowing ingredient, it will take care of your brow hairs.

Overplucking your eyebrows may lead to permanent loss of hairs in them. Too much tweezing has been found to cause damages to the hair follicles, which prevents the shafts from growing back in a natural way. Hence, stay away from overplucking and learn how to shape eyebrows like a pro. Sometimes using a pair of dirty tweezers for eyebrow shaping causes bacterial infections in our eyebrows. This can be avoided by cleaning the pair of tweezers with alcohol before each use.

Preventing eyebrow hair loss is not all about taking right foods or following home remedies. You need to change some of your habits that are affecting the life cycles of your eyebrow hairs and making them fall out before time. Know what you actually need to do:

Try to reduce your stress level as much as possible. Be it physical stress or emotional stress, put your efforts in keeping it under control by working out, practicing meditation, or performing yoga every day for at least 20 minutes. These will help you relieve stress and calm down your mind remarkably.

Say ‘NO’ to smoking. When it comes to checking the loss of hair on your eyebrows, avoiding the chemical or tobacco smoke is essential. Try to avoid all sorts of triggers and use patches if necessary.

Restrict yourself from using lots and lots of makeup on your eyebrows as you might end up damaging them while beautifying. It is always good to use eyebrow pencils, eyebrow tints, and eyebrow dyes less frequently and without putting too much pressure.
